Section Ⅳ Reading for Writing,Assessing Your Progress & Video Time
Dear Xiao Li,
My time here in China is going well.I love my new school and classmates.Over the October holiday,my parents and I are planning to go to Xi'an to see the Terracotta Army①.I've heard that it is an amazing sight②,and I can't wait to go③.To me,the story of the Terracotta Army is almost unbelievable④.It's amazing that there are more than⑤ 8,000 statues⑥,and no one in modern times knew about them until the 1970s.
本句是并列复合句,由并列连词and连接。前一分句包含由that引导的主语从句,其中it作形式主语,that引导的从句才是真正的主语。
We're also planning to visit several other places in Xi'an.My dad and I are both looking forward to⑦ going to the Shanxi History Museum,because my dad loves history and I have heard that this museum is known as⑧ a “Chinese treasure house”!We're also going to the Xi'an City Wall and a few other famous sights.
We're taking the train,leaving the day before the October holiday begins. We're arriving at 9:30 a.m.and will start sightseeing right away⑨,so I hope we sleep well on the train!
本句中“We're taking the train”为主句,“leaving the day...begins”作状语。
I guess that's all for now!I'll write again soon and send photos!Do you have any plans for the coming holiday?Hope to hear from⑩you soon.
Your friend,
Richard
TERRACOTTA ARMY
Come and see the Terracotta Army:more than 8,000 statues were made in the third century BCE⑪ to guard⑫ the tomb⑬ of the Chinese Emperor Qinshihuang!Each statue has a different face,leading researchers⑭ to believe that each one is a copy⑮ of a real soldier .The statues fill only one part of the emperor's huge tomb,which still has not been completely unearthed⑯.More than 700,000 people worked for nearly 40 years to build this tomb.However,no one in modern times knew about the tomb or the terracotta statues until 1974,when some farmers discovered the tomb while they were digging a well !
“leading researchers to believe...”为现在分词短语作结果状语;that引导的从句作believe的宾语。
“when some farmers...a well”是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词1974,关系词when在从句中作时间状语;while引导时间状语从句。
亲爱的小李:
我在中国期间过得很好。我爱我的新学校和同学们。我和我的父母计划在十月假日期间一起去西安参观(秦始皇)兵马俑。我听说它的景象很壮观,我迫不及待地想去。对于我来说,兵马俑的故事几乎让人难以置信。令人惊奇的是,(里面)竟有8,000多座陶俑,而且直到20世纪70年代才被现代人所知晓。
我们还计划去游览西安的其他几处景点。我和我爸爸都很期待去陕西历史博物馆,因为我爸爸热爱历史,而且我听说这座博物馆有着“中华宝库”的美誉!我们还准备去西安城墙和其他几处著名的景点。
我们要在十月假期开始的前一天乘火车出发。我们在(第二天)早上9:30到达,之后便会立即开始游览,所以我希望我们在火车上睡个好觉!
我想这是我目前所有的计划!我不久会再写信并发照片(给你)!对于接下来的假期,你有什么计划吗?希望不久收到你的回信。
你的朋友,
理查德
兵马俑
来参观(秦始皇)兵马俑:公元前3世纪,为守卫中国古代皇帝秦始皇的陵墓,人们制作了8,000多座陶俑!每一座陶俑有不同的面孔,这使得研究者们相信每一座陶俑都是一名真实士兵的复制品。这些陶俑仅仅只是这座巨大皇陵的一部分,它(这座巨大的皇陵)并没有被完全挖掘。70余万人劳作,历时将近40年才建成这座陵墓。然而,现代人并不知道陵墓和赤陶土雕像,直到1974年一些农民在掘井时才发现了这座陵墓!
